speaker boehner threw cold water on that. what's your reaction? >> they are talking about a bill that already passed the senate. i voted against it. i don't think we should raise taxes on anybody at times like these. with unemployment so high, people looking for work -- >> no giving on that point? >> i don't think we should raise taxes on anybody. >> you and ambassador susan rice was on capitol hill. met with senators. didn't appear to go as well as she hoped. you have been on the record saying you would oppose her nomination as secretary of state. do you still feel that way? >> do i. i believe she disqualified herself as secretary of state by going on five sunday shows and giving bad information to the american people. as secretary of state we need somebody who has sound judgment -- she just parroted information she was given. a secretary of state needs to have sound judgment, ask tough questions, and should not be willing to just read talking points. you need to be thoughtful and ask the tough questions before speaking. she just didn't do that.
